Abstrakt: A biological approach to generating complex behaviors in chemistry is described. It is suggested theoretically that the assembly of “modules” composed of chemical reactions or molecular structures under appropriate external constraints can lead to features typical of the biological world like autocatalysis, kinetic proofreading, or oriented molecular motion. This approach may account for the primitive steps of molecular evolution and, in addition, it can find useful applications in chemistry such as high-performance chromatography.
